The connector for a fluid line of an extracorporeal circuit comprises a tubular body which internally defines a fluid passage, a first connection port predisposed for coupling to the fluid line, a second connection port predisposed for coupling to a male Luer connector borne by an external element, and a closure element of the second connection port. The closure element is formed of a breakable membrane made in a single piece with the tubular body. On coupling, the membrane is broken by the truncoconical projection of the male Luer connector. The connector connects a service line of an extracorporeal circuit to a pressure sensor of a dialysis machine.

A blood chamber for an extracorporeal blood circuit comprises a blood inlet port (), a blood containment chamber (), a first conduit () which connects the blood inlet port () with the blood containment chamber () and which has an end tract () that terminates in the blood containment chamber () with a horizontal inlet component. The first conduit () comprises a pre-terminal tract () which precedes the end tract () and which has at least a second horizontal component which is directed in an opposite direction to the horizontal inlet component. The blood chamber is used in an arterial line of a dialysis set for guaranteeing a regular and gentle blood flow.
